Poor Civic...

This past Monday we had lots of snow and driving conditions weren't the best to say the least. So we worked from home this day and didn't drive anywhere (not to mention our heater broke too so we had to wait for the maintenance guy in our 50 degree home). Tuesday, although the snow stopped, was still very icy and there were a few accidents. Right when we were getting off I-90 heading north on 52 towards the Marion Rd exit (for those of you that know the area), we noticed 2 cars in the ditch and one pulled over. This must've just happened because their cars were still running. So naturally because we figure it's icy around there we slow down quite a bit BEFORE getting there. The guy behind us did not do this in time and when he did start slowing down, he lost control. We saw the whole thing happen. Scott even said "he's going to hit us, he's losing control" and he did. We pulled over and got all insurance information etc. No one was hurt thank God...but it was scary on the side of the road and having all those cars pass us and some very quickly...to quickly. I was hoping one of them wouldn't lose control also and just hit us.

The irony? This is the 4th time our car has been hit and we've only had it for a year and a half!!! All 4 times were not our fault at all and in 3 cases we weren't even moving! So needless to say, the guys at the auto body shop pretty much know us by name now. Scott was joking this morning that we wish they had a punch card or something for frequent visitors.

Just bad luck...4th time's a charm...hopefully.

Trying to keep our house warm...we turned the ovens and burners on
